Re: One not-quite last shot at the geometry

In Response To: One last shot at the geometry (Claude Errera)

: Man, it's amazing what people are reading into this shot. :)

>snip<

: The GLASS has an embedded grid pattern on it - you're seeing THAT overlaying
: the wall, making the stuff BEHIND the wall look different from the bottom
: stuff.

: The screen itself is free-standing - the blue border at the bottom is just
: how light reflects through the thickness. You're on one side of the
: glass... most of the numbers and shapes are on the glass itself... and
: Cortana is behind it, talking to you. (She's a friggin' AI - it shouldn't
: be hard for her to read inverted text - think of her as a weathergirl,
: pointing out that new low front moving in.) The small diagram behind her
: hip is on the back wall, next to the window - far enough back that you
: can't see it through her body.

Exactly!

: The only part I can't understand, with this analysis, are those two screens
: at the bottom. They're tilted, presumably for easy reading. However, the
: text at the top is readable, not reversed... which means they're tilted
: DOWN.

I think it would make more sense if we saw a zoomed out version or another angle. I have not seen any movies except those on the Magazine CDs, but I am guessing that there are pilot/nav seats inclined and recessed into the floor and that those angled screens make sense in that context.

Is this whole thing way over your head?

Asks who? Christine McVie? :-)
